Okay so at first, I couldn’t justify spending $50 on a small tripod when Amazon has so many cheaper and still great quality options. Buuuut, one day I was forced to get this (needed a tripod that day) and I actually fell in love! You can honestly ‘feel’ the money spent through the incredible quality. I keep my Canon G7x on it, I can hold only one leg with the camera and remaining legs at the end and it won’t bend or move. It’s extremely sturdy and strong, and at times almost made me question my own arm strength. The swivel ball mechanism comes loose sometimes but that could also be in part user error! Overall super great tripod!

This tripod is awesome. Have hung it from branches, perched it on top of a bag of garbage, and set it on tables. Crazy versatile. Horizontal and vertical adjustment is really easy with the ball clamp.

This has been great to use with both my GoPro Hero 8 and my phone.
Build quality is awesome, and you can wrap it around a bunch of things easily. I'm not worried about it dropping those expensive items.

Saw this being used at a family gathering. I asked where it was bought and they said Best Buy YEARS ago. Looked online to see if it was still carried at the store and it was! Went the next day to purchase. Really like the ease of use.

Great to have as a helping hand but it didn’t last very long. Not very well made. The legs started to lose their form and would not hold my camera upright. I had it for about 2 years and I finally purchased a new stand to replace it

This is one of those tripods that can do everything. It bends this and that way. Little so it’s not awkward and set up your camera anywhere.

This is my second joby stick. It seems better constructed than the first which lasted about 5 years.
It is taller and more flexible than the first.
Good for consistent podcast videos

I have purchased several Joby products this year and have enjoyed each and every one. This keeps my secondary camera going on my desk. I usually put a cell phone and have the ability to stream. Great quality and very easy to use.

I live this tripod - it was perfect for all the Zoom meetings while having to stay at home. Left my hands free to stay in the conversation while taking notes or simply to keep the camera focused while talking to others. Highly recommend !

It's Okay

Worked well for the first couple times, but one of the legs has already detached from the ball. After trying to wrap the leg around an object to balance the tripod, one of the balls came loose from the legs. So it's not as strong as I thought. Stand alone, it's great. But not that well manufactured for wrapping around thing.

The pod itself is good enough but I have heard that Joby's can show some really bad strength wear and tear. So far so good and actually the cell phone mount is one of the best i have ever tried. It has steps in its locking system, so you know every time when its actually gripping tightly.

This thing comes in handy for FaceTime or video recording. The limits are endless because you can wrap it around a pole or tree branch etc. If you are looking for a good tripod for your phone look no longer. Just buy it.

This has been a god send, I love that I can use it on both my dslr and phone. I was able to use it for some amazing macro shots, and it makes zoom calls witb family easier now that I can be hands free.

All of the Joby GorillaPod equipment is very useful. Just make sure you buy the correct size for what you need. This is perfect for GoPro or point-and-shoot cameras but I would recommend the bigger ones for anything like a mirrorless camera.

As im using it now to make this review.. it’s a great tool to hold your phone for hands free photo/video taking.. the flexibility for it to contour to most places (stair rail, poles, arm rest, etc) doubles it’s worth.. only thing that could make it better is it being able to turn 180 degrees instead of just 90..
